Welcome to Aberystwyth University Netball Club

Aberystwyth University Netball Club is one of the largest and most social clubs in the University. Our main focus and priority is of course netball but we have many other activities and events that we take part in which allows the unity of both dedicated players and social members.

Having five teams in the club allows players of all different kinds of ability to join, giving everyone a chance to improve and progress within the club. Our five teams are split into the following three groups:

BUCS

Ceredigion League

Advancement

As well as training and matches, we have our usual socials every Wednesday and it is when all teams have a chance to really bond together. A night out in fancy dress always leads to a lot of fun!

Our other events throughout the year also include an annual Mixed Netball Tournament, Christmas and End of Year Meals, Tour and RAG. This is as well as the University's own events, Superteams and Aber 7’s.

So, if you love netball as much as we do then join our club and get ready to make your University experience much more than just studying by meeting your best friends for life and getting a bit competitive!

If you have any questions, please email: esa@aber.ac.uk

Teams

BUCS

BUCS is for our 1st and 2nd teams and they are involved in competing against other University teams from both England and Wales. Matches are always held on Wednesdays and can either be home or away games, which can require a bit of travel.

BUCS teams also take part in Varsity, an eventful day against Bangor University involving all sports teams going against each other. This is usually the last main event for netball so there is a lot of built up anticipation!

Captains:

1st Team - Lucy Bowers

2nd Team - Neve Spotswood

Ceredigion League

The Ceredigion League is for our 3rd and 4th teams. Matches for this league take place on Wednesdays in Aberaeron against other local teams.

This year, we will also be looking at placing both teams in a local Welsh tournament at the end of the year, giving the teams something extra to work towards.

Advancement

Advancement is usually our largest team in the club. It gives those that did not make it onto the other teams, a chance to develop and improve their skills over the year. Advancement also allows those that have never played netball before, an opportunity to learn the basics and figure out which position suits them best.

Over the years, Advancement have had more games organised for them which has allowed them to put what they have learnt to use by playing against other teams and learning how to adapt and deal with various game plays.
